Are you telling me that the original print would have a sentence where the first few words are in solid caps and the rest of the sentence is not? Example below.

THIS IS A SAMple sentence.

Isn't this a scanning error?

Bud,

Taking out the spaces is fine.  Spaces in between letters is an OCR error
and not a factor of the original print.

Thanks.

Hi,
   I leave the caps the way they are also except I take out the
spaces between letters which so often appear so it reads
better.  Hope that's ok.
